Who we are

Our school offers a vibrant, fun, and educational environment where holistic education is our priority.

We strive to equip all our scholars with, not only, skills to succeed academically but also believe that instilling confidence, self-belief and igniting a child’s imagination are the skills that will equip our children and set them up for a life of success.

Our Curriculum

We follow an integrated scientific approach based on developing the needs of a child as well as skills development. Our programme involves concepts developed by the Gauteng Education Department, the Early Childhood Development Programme (ELDA) and a School Readiness Programme, this includes language, creative activities, perception, maths, science, music, movement, stories, gross and fine motor co-ordination, news, show-and-tell, baking, etc. We research a theme every week and the teachers build their lessons around this theme wherever possible.

We also combine this with the Grow Learning Curriculum with all the children, as well as focus on the Practical Stimulation Program with all our babies.
